so i sold my REALLY BAD seats i won from WFAN for twice their face value, bought BETTER seats for sunday night with the Cunt on the mound, and have extra scratch to play with at the toilet! ive been to the toilet a couple of times, but have never gone to monument park. whats the deal with it? do you have to pay to get in? i'd like to go this time in case its my last chance.

thanks l-girl. yeah i figured as much, but i might give it a shot, as i do appreciate baseball history. i was thinking of going really early and see what happens.my seats i won were Tier 21 row U....my new seats aren't THAT much: Tier Box MVP Row F. first base side. thats good enough for me...

I love baseball history but I still thought Monument Park was pretty crappy. But since you've never been, and it's the last year, blah blah blah...

I'm so glad I said my goodbyes to that place. It will be REALLY strange that there will be two ballparks in NYC that we've never been to! I imagine that eventually we'll time a family visit with both teams being home. And I'll go to Yankee Stadium as a Red Sox fan.

Enjoy the game tonight, everyone. We will be out with our kids (two Red Sox fans, one Mets fan, one Yankee fan, and one daughter who couldn't care less), but there is a TV in the restaurant bar, so hopefully Maddy (the Sox fan daughter) and I can give Harvey some razzing.

L: Remember, Yankee Stadium was much closer to us, so my first game was Sox-Yanks in The Bronx in '79, when I was 3. (upper deck, behind home plate) I got to Fenway a few years later--though I have a Yaz '79 pennant which it seems only could've come from Fenway, so there may have been an earlier trip whose details remain uncovered....

I use Yahoo's StatTracker to keep track of my fantasy team and for a bird's eye on games in general. Every time an inning ends, over the inning summary, you get an annoying image of Jeter doing a fist pump.

For a while it has been in the back of my mind to do a screenshot of Jeter over a message showing that he made a run-surrendering error. So today I got my wish before hitting the road for Lake Tahoe.

So far there have been 2. The strike vs ball call was fine by itself but combined now with the bad call at first. It seems that umps usually call in favor of the defense on first base outs but that looked to be favored too much to the runner especially when he was out.
